The 2009 leaders both have a shot to match that streak but probably not this season.

Halladay's has pitched 6IP in 59 out of 60 games, from 17July07 to today. Looks like 13June08 or thereabouts was below 6 IP, and he started his current streak his next start. Very impressive in this day and age.

The one below 6 was when he got hurt.
